"Another recent 7" on the Dutch Mixer
label is offered by Rechenzentrum, who have been building
a name for themselves in recent times with a John Peel session and
inclusion on one of the recent Bip-Hop Generation
compilations. With Negende MIXER they offer 4 tracks. The
first side starts with crackles and rustles that give impressions of near
scrapes are build up in a manner that provides a concrete spattering
across a low bass line that is building in the depths. Melodic potential
wafts like smoke across the surface of the thicker bass, the surface
details providing something of a percussive interface, perhaps going for a
more abstract micro rhythm to some degree. The results are very
atmospheric and quite listenable. The side is topped off by the brief
clatter of metal banging for a moment.
On the other side there is a sound that
give the impression of crackling, it could be water or a fire, though we
are uncertain, the impression if off a field recording to some degree, the
barking dog in the background tipping us in this direction. Pretty much
another short piece. Followed by the last piece, a woman's singing voice
is strained in either in a deeply emotional bid or sampled and manipulated
fashion. Beats are a plod behind that, while horn is an edge and the
brushing skelfs of percussion tumble in an awkwardness of abstraction. A
sense that starts to dominate the roll of this piece, some jazzy lounge
idea rolled out, blended and mixed like paints of different colour,
leaving smears of sound colloid like (which I suspect isn't the word I'm
looking for, but is the one that comes to mind now). Cohering suddenly at
the last in a moment of potential."
